   What holds do you all have? I only have one for a background check & am worried that might be a mistake/oversight and wanted to check. Thank you

   Thank you all for your responses. What I witnessed was routine nail care not any nail emergencies.

   I live in Alabama and several nurse's where I work clip their nails at the nurse's station and I find that to be horribly disgusting. Has anyone else had coworkers who do this? Does it bother you all or am I just being fussy?

   I recommend the Jefferson Campus. I failed 2nd at Shelby (full time days) and am now at Jefferson and it is A LOT easier. Also the students in 5th get to precept where they want on the Jefferson campus but at Shelby, even though they ask you, you ve...

7. Failed 1st Fundamentals Test

   BillieP posted a topic in General Students

   The highest grade was an 86 and the class average was 72 (passing is 75) 75% failed the test. I'm so upset. Are these typical grades on these type of tests? The test had 45 questions and there are 64 students.

   We had our first Fundamentals test and there were no "A's". Only 15 students out of 64 passed. I think the average grade was a 72.

   Things are even worse now. The level of disorganization is unreal. We were given wrong dates for our validations, about 5 calanders, had stuff (7 chapters) dropped from a test a week before the test (we'll eventually be tested on it). Our pharm test ...

    Today was my first week of nursing school at the Shelby campus. The teachers are both great lecturers so that's good. The thing I don't like is that so many (the majority) in my class are total snobs. There are several who already have degrees in oth...

    That's okay :) I plan on losing mine so I can get a new one one day when my hair looks decent lol :) It was crazy to do it like that. I think I spent two hours standing in both of those lines. It was during orientation that the mentioned Anniston ...

    During orientation at Shelby they mentioned that in a later semester we would have clinicals in Anniston? Does anybody know what those would be for? Thanks.
